Sandy Bay, Tasmania
A Union 160 on a covered deck in Hobart, with a short video from its owner.
This Union 160 outdoor sauna sits on a covered deck in Sandy Bay, on the River Derwent just south of Hobart's city centre. It is our UNION 160, a 3 to 5 person cabin sauna made from thermo treated Nordic Spruce.
The sauna stands under a pergola, so the deck around it stays dry, with garden steps and trees right beside it. The tinted glass front and glass door look out over the deck, and a towel hangs on a hook within reach of the door.
Inside, warm lights glow under the split level benches. A black Harvia Cilindro heater stands in the corner with a black bucket set beside it, ready for the first pour of water on the stones.
The UNION 160 is built from thermo treated Nordic Spruce in 42 mm staves, with rounded corners and black external mouldings. Outside it measures 206 by 160 cm and 210 cm tall. Inside there is 196 by 140 cm of room, enough for 3 to 5 people on the split level benches of knotless thermo aspen.
This one runs on a Harvia Cilindro PC70 in black steel, a 6.8 kW electric heater loaded with 80 kg of Harvia Vulcanite stones. The front wall and door are 8 mm tempered tinted glass, which lets the light in and keeps the view of the garden.
The sauna arrives as a kit of preassembled parts, with the roof cover, backrests, two vents in the back wall and a water drain in the floor.
At 206 by 160 cm, the Union 160 takes about the space of an outdoor table and chairs, yet seats up to 5.
Thermo treated spruce is heated during making, so it holds its shape and stands up to Tasmanian rain and cold.
An electric heater means no wood to carry up the steps. Switch it on and the sauna heats up by itself.
The same sauna as in this project.
